Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and raised in the city of Montreal, 23 year-old Canadian artist KAYTRANADA is widely regarded as one of the most important new producers in the musical landscape today. Since the age of fourteen, when he first began to DJ and when his brother introduced him to music production software, his output has been relentless. As he explains, \"after he showed me the basics, from that day on I couldn't stop making beats,\" pumping out a beat a day for the next couple of years and soon after self-releasing a series of EPs and beat tapes that quickly began to expand his reach. Single releases like \"Drive Me Crazy\" with Vic Mensa and \"Leave Me Alone\" with Shay Lia soon spread his name like wildfire and gained listens reaching far into the millions. In addition to that he's produced for artists such as Mobb Deep, Kali Uchis, Freddie Gibbs, The Internet, \u0026amp; Talib Kweli and remixed the likes of Disclosure, Pharrell, Missy Elliot, Janet Jackson, and others. KAYTRANADA soon cemented his reputation and his sound; an undeniable swing of the drums comparable to J Dilla's, a signature soulful touch in the melodies, and a healthy dose of funky bass lines. Last year he was tapped by the legendary Rick Rubin who has acted as a mentor, eventually signing him to a publishing relationship. 99.9% will be KAYTRANADA's first debut album on XL Recordings. The 15-track album includes guest vocals from Anderson.Paak, AlunaGeorge, BADBADNOTGOOD, Craig David, Syd, Little Dragon, Goldlink and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinster Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39259482423379,"sku":"634904076511","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/6399\/products\/3324398.jpg?v=1602869878"},{"product_id":"madvillain-madvillainy","title":"Madvillain - Madvillainy","description":"\"\u003cem\u003eMadvillainy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, one of the most anticipated releases in underground rap history, happens to parallel one of the most anticipated arrivals in comic book history: the short-lived Amalgam Comics label.

The musicians, along with Ruban and Kody's father, a jazz musician in his own right, helped lay down the unique textures heard throughout Hanoi. At it's core it's a record of exploration, finding it's closest antecedent in Miles Davis' experimental On The Corner - itself a record full of nods toward avant-garde composers and jazz outsiders alike. Hanoi finds Ruban amplifying and stretching out on lead guitar, with a blown-out and wandering fuzz tone that slinks throughout the sessions.

The explosion of indie Hip Hop labels in the early 90s resulted in an ongoing snowball effect that started to shift the narrative around an artist's need to sign to a major label. Coincidentally, quality home recording equipment was also becoming more easily accessible and, with the rising popularity of CD-R technology, this allowed artists to write, record, and manufacture their own albums right at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAppleseed was a highly celebrated and influential release from that era, cementing Aesop Rock as a new face whose talent could not be denied. The album explores creative concepts with inventive writing and stripped-down yet melodic and melancholic production. Six out of the eight songs were produced by Aesop Rock, with Omega One producing \"Sick Friend\" and longtime collaborator Blockhead handling \"1000 Deaths\", and the project's sole guest lyricist was Dose One. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe DIY process was followed in every aspect, as Aesop himself recalls, \"I did the Appleseed hand style while working at Tepper Galleries in NYC.

I continued to sell hand to hand in NY, while Blockhead started fielding some mail orders from a young internet.

Entering the tight-knit world of a Khruangbin song can be a little daunting. They have created this entire universe in which the trio seem to function telepathically in the way the music is composed, arranged and played. To mess with their delicate eco-system can invoke feelings similar to that of an unwanted guest crashing a good-time party. \"We write our music to be interpreted; this is another wonderful interpretation of the music,\" reassure Khruangbin. \"There is something very vulnerable about letting others work on your music.
